Took me a while to post these since I'm still figuring out Flickr. These are in rough chronological order. Mostly southern AL stuff, but there's at least 3 from NC in there.

Great stuff, CC.
The corn and mocassin between the wall studs is super.

PS I'm a little disappointed in you, picking on a little Stoeria.

Do you have more pics of that corn from under the board with the cottonmouth? That thing looks pretty interesting.

Thanks for looking, everybody. What, nobody liked the sea turtle? :lol:

Regarding the corn snake-yes, I do have another pic of it, but it's not really any better than that one. RE pygmy rattlers-I hadn't seen one in AL since 1996 or so, but this year I decided to target them for some reason, and was able to find one little pocket of habitat where they are still pretty common. They have declined a lot in this state from what I have read.

2013 turned out to be a strange year-good diversity of species, but low numbers, especially for usually abundant species like racers, Nerodia, and box turtles.

I'm also joining that corn snake's fan club. Nice contrast!

I dug up a pic of a similar looking corn snake from last year. I rarely find them, but I think this is a typical look for this area.
